Side Effects
Tell your doctor or pharmacist as soon as possible if you do not feel well during or after treatment with OXYPROGEST. All medicines can have side effects. Sometimes they are serious, most of the time they are not. However, you may need medical treatment if you get certain side effects. Ask your doctor or pharmacist to answer any questions you may have.
Most women using OXYPROGEST for contraception experience changes in their normal monthly period. This includes irregular or unpredictable bleeding or spotting, or rarely, heavy or continuous bleeding. If abnormal bleeding continues or is severe, see your doctor immediately.
With continued use of OXYPROGEST, it is usual for vaginal bleeding to decrease. Your periods may stop completely. When you stop treatment with OXYPROGEST, your periods will return. However, this may take up to 18 months.
Most women find that it takes about 10 months after their last injection to become pregnant. The length of time that you use OXYPROGEST does not affect the time it takes for you to become pregnant. If you do not wish to become pregnant after you stop treatment with OXYPROGEST, you or your partner should use another form of contraception.
